Woah. Would you really put Expedition 33 in the same class as the other two? This is the highest indirect praise I've seen of the game.
absolutely!
it's of course a very different game from the other two but brilliant nonetheless
i dislike turn based combat, i dislike jrpg, but Expedition 33? i adore. the world building, the story, the voice acting- are absolutely incredible. It's one of those lightnings in a bottle that suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere
I would too. It’s just really well crafted world building , story, and side content. There’s so much to do and all of it feels fun.

Doom. The game that solidified a gaming genre and has become a benchmark for computers. 'Can you play doom on it?'

The Persona series comes to mind. But probably more than anything Witcher 3, Skyrim, Disco Elysium, Stardew Valley, No Man’s Sky, Nier Replicant/Automata, Metal Gear Solid 3, there’s actually quite a few imo.
Edit: oh and dwarf fortress!
Skyrim is pretty bad compared to LotR, but pretty good compared to video games.
Witcher 3 may be the better pick from what I've heard, but I've barely played it.
The obvious choice, after reading other comments, is Baldur's Gate 3.

No Man's Sky
Isn't this the one that crashed and burned on launch, but the devs owned their mistakes and put a ton of work into patching and upgrading? What a fuckin redemption arc for it to end up on this list unironically.
Yes! The devs are still putting out updates that are entirely free! Like recently they've added new types of buildings and NPC ran stuff for your settlements, overhauled the planet Gen, added new planet types, overhauled the rendering engine, completely redid the ocean biomes so now there's animals and plants and biomes all under water.
Hello Games may have launched a really bad game, but they have cemented themselves as my favorite game company because they just straight up admitted they messed up, and then have been grinding away at making the game better and better and better for the last 9 years (which side note, holy crap it's been 9 years. Ugh I'm feeling old now)
They are coming out with a new game that I am very very excited for too.

When the Bond-esque theme music kicked in on MGS3, after gameplay that amounted to like an hour-long cold open...wow. I've only played the game once all the way through, and that has stuck with me all this time.
Add Hades in this list, too. Incredible game with so much love poured into it.
Deus Ex
Welp, time to reinstall!
Ocarina of Time
I feel like the labor of love part being something like Factorio, Satisfactory, NMS is fitting. Also grand scale, holds up well, graphics aren't the main point

The ArmA series by Bohemia Interactive.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
This is what can be done when the actual developers and artists are given a chance without executive meddling and forced monetization.
